These drop cookies are tender and tasty loaded with raisins and chocolate chips
Melt 2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
and 1/2 cups butter in a bowl and set aside
In a Microwave proof bowl place 3/4 cup merlot wine (cab will work, if you don't have any leftover wine grapejuice will work but is not as good), 1 1/2 cups raisins
microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Raisins should absorb liquid, stir occasionaly to distribute. Set aside to cool
Blend together
1/2 cups butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
Add 2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Mix on high for 2 minutes
Add 1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
mix well
With mixer on low add
1 cup flour
Cooled chocolate mixture
Mix well
Add an additional 1 1/2 cups flour
when blended add
Cooled raisin mixture (drain and discard any remaining liquid first)
Add 1 1/2 cups semi sweet choco chips
Drop by spoonful onto an ungreased baking sheet, (I use a silpat baking liner or parchment paper) Bake at 375 for approx 10 minutes, till cookies are firm around the edges and no longer look wet in the center.
